A member asked:
Do if i started birth control pill on may 3 and have sex on may 9 would i be protected or do i have to wait a week since my period was 2 weeks ago and my doctor just placed me in birth control ?

What did Dr. say?: Must remember and follow one's doctor's instructions. A woman who is properly taking her birth control pills and is BEYOND her first pack of pills, has contraceptive protection ALL the time, regardless of where she is in her pill pack. That's very important to understand. A home urine pregnancy test gives a very reliable result 3 weeks after sex, if one is still worried about possible pregnancy.
